Safety Markers
For your safety and security, all sections of the James River Heritage Trail include safety markers. These markers are located every quarter mile and denote linear distance and geographic location. Because there are multiple sections of the James River Heritage Trail and thus duplicate linear distance locations, a unique, three-digit location number was created for every safety marker. Should you have an emergency on the trail, please reference your distance from the closest safety marker (such as 300 feet east of SM 105) using the three digit location number marked in red at the bottom of each safety marker.
